waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

He went to the window , opened it to let the cold air clear his head for a bit , then went downstairs . Kirsten , who had just finished cleaning and was about to rest , was surprised to see Roderick come downstairs and head straight for the kitchen . " Sir , you haven't eaten ? " " I have . It's Madeleine's period , so I'm making her some Brown Sugar Ginger Tea . " Kirsten smiled at that . " You're so thoughtful , sir . But does that stuff really do much ? " " Mmm , it's more for peace of mind . " Roderick nodded , expertly retrieving the brown sugar and ginger from the cabinet .

Madeleine was extremely picky ; even with simple Brown Sugar Ginger Tea , she wouldn't drink it if it was too sweet and fattening , or too spicy from too much ginger . Chapter 227 Practice makes perfect , and Roderick had already mastered her preferences . Watching this from the side of the kitchen , Kirsten couldn't help but smile . How wonderful . Chase and Roderick should have been living this kind of loving , happy life long ago . While Madeleine was suffering from period cramps , Rebecca was in the ER with the pain of gastroenteritis .

In the middle of the night , lacking even the strength to drive , she took a cab to the nearest emergency room . " Gastroenteritis . Did you eat anything raw or cold ? " " Yes ... I had Japanese food for lunch , and ... iced coffee in the afternoon . " The doctor sighed and shook his head . " Acute gastroenteritis . You'll need an IV drip ." He then glanced behind Rebecca . Chapter 227 " You came alone ? " Rebecca nodded , her lips pale from the pain , but she hadn't called a single person to come with her .

Figuring Rebecca was a single girl trying to make it in the big city , the doctor's expression softened with sympathy . He called a nurse , who helped Rebecca to a seat in the infusion hall . Once the needle was in , the nurse told her it would take about two more hours . " So when will the pain stop ? " Rebecca struggled to even get the words out , her forehead beaded with sweat . " The medicine doesn't work that fast . " " Okay ... thank you .

" She sucked in a sharp breath from the pain , her mind blank , and instinctively pulled out her phone , snapped a picture , and posted it to her moments , visible to only one person . Five seconds after posting , she instantly deleted it. Chapter 227 Crazy ... She wasn't even " Eleanor " anymore , so why was she still playing these little games ? She was really losing her mind . Rebecca gave a bitter smile and shook her head . The emergency room was quiet at night , with a few people scattered around the infusion hall . Most of them were accompanied by family or friends .

In comparison , Rebecca's lonely figure seemed a bit out of place . She closed her eyes , propping her head up with one hand , a dull pain still throbbing in her stomach . She actually wanted a cup of hot water , but she didn't want to bother a nurse to get it for her . Forget it , she'd just bear with it a little longer . She never liked to bother other people . Drowsily , Rebecca seemed to have fallen asleep . After getting Chapter 227 through more than half the IV bag, the pain in her stomach had eased a bit .

Her arm went numb and her head slumped down , only to be caught by a large , steady hand . She instinctively opened her eyes , turned her head , and saw Adrian beside her . She was so startled she nearly jumped out of her skin . Was she seeing things ? Adrian was only wearing a white shirt , its sleeves rolled up to his forearms , with a black overcoat draped over his other arm . His forehead seemed to be covered in a thin layer of sweat . " You ... " Rebecca's voice was a bit stiff as she asked awkwardly , " You saw my moments post ? " She couldn't think of any other reason .

Adrian didn't say anything . He just placed the overcoat on a stool , glanced around , and his eyes landed on a water dispenser not far away . He walked straight over and came back Chapter 227 with a cup of hot water . " I remember I deleted that moments post right away . Sorry , you still saw it . " Adrian handed her the water . " Wasn't it posted intentionally for me to see ? " Rebecca was too embarrassed to look up , and just took the water in silence . She took a few sips , and her stomach felt much better . " Yes , I admit it .

Some of my previous moments posts were meant for you to see , including today's ... but I wasn't thinking straight , so I deleted it immediately . " This was unbelievable . Adrian didn't usually stare at his phone that much . Adrian fell silent and sat down next to her . He looked up at the IV drip . There was still a lot left , it would probably be another hour or so .
